Chapter 343: Take Xiao 9 back to Southern Xinjiang
Chu Chenfeng looked serious, "I will, aunt, don't worry."
Xiao Fengyi smiled and said, "Of course I feel at ease with you."
Her hands gently stroked the letters, as if they were priceless treasures.
The next day, Chu Chenfeng took a few people to pay homage to his mother.
Surprisingly, Chu Chenfeng's mother was not buried in the royal mausoleum.
This is a place with mountains and water, and the environment is very good. Chu Chenfeng also arranged people to guard the tomb.
However, what appeared before them at this moment were two tombs.
Xiao Fengyi frowned and asked, "Who is this next to him?"
Don’t tell her that this is the useless late emperor. If it really were him... Xiao Fengyi clenched his fists.
But think about it, it shouldn't be the case. It is impossible for an emperor of a country to be buried here.
"It's my father."
Xiao Fengyi's eyes widened, and even Xiao Heng beside him was surprised.
Then, Xiao Fengyi said with a look of disgust, "Why did you bury him here too?"
"This is the only request my father made before he died, so..."
Xiao Fengyi pursed her lips and stared at the grave for a long time. Finally, she sighed. He is the man that her younger sister likes. Perhaps, her younger sister would be happy with him by her side.
"Your mother has been weak since she was young, which is the main reason why I didn't let her marry far away. First, I was worried that I couldn't protect her because we were too far away. Second, I was worried that if her husband's family treated her badly, she would be so thoughtful and would have no one to guide her. Alas, I didn't expect that she would still marry far away, and even to an emperor. If she had married as a princess of Southern Xinjiang, I don't know how long she could have survived in that cannibalistic environment. Your father probably thought the same, so he told the outside world that she was a woman from the underworld. No matter which force it was, they would not target an ordinary concubine with no background, even if she was favored by the emperor."
Chu Chenfeng seemed to recall, "During those years, my father was always indifferent to my mother and me in front of outsiders, saying that this was the only way to protect us. My mother was promoted to concubine after she gave birth to me, and there was no difference compared to other women in the palace. If there was any difference, it was probably that her status was relatively low, so she would not be hated by others. However, there were many cases of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, but my mother didn't care."
Xiao Fengyi walked to his sister's tombstone, and gently took down the tree under the tombstone, and even wiped the dust off it with his clothes, his eyes were gentle, "Your mother's temperament is not competitive, and she is also low-key. But in fact, she is very transparent, and everything in her heart is like a mirror. So I have never understood why she chose your father after carefully selecting. An emperor, whether he likes it or not, cannot do without women in the harem. How can life be easy? In southern Xinjiang, if I find a son-in-law for her, her husband will only have her as a woman in his life, and will treat her as a treasure and cherish her for the rest of his life. Alas, no matter how much I say, it's useless. Once she makes up her mind, eight horses can't pull her back."
At this point, Xiao Fengyi pointed at the tombstone angrily, "He's just a stubborn guy."
"Qing'er," Xiao Fengyi stroked the tombstone, calling out his sister's nickname, "Imperial sister is here to see you."
Last night, Xiao Fengyi didn't sleep the whole night. After reading the letter her younger sister left for her, she realized that she was determined to leave Southern Xinjiang even at the cost of her life. On the one hand, it was for the Emperor of Great Chu, and on the other hand, it was actually for her.
Southern Xinjiang was not peaceful back then. Xiao Fengyi had to deal with the internal struggles in Southern Xinjiang while protecting her. Some people even tried every means to plot against her in order to threaten her sister. She didn't want to be a burden, so leaving was the best choice.
"You have been like this since you were a child. You look so weak, but why are you so strong-willed and stubborn? In your eyes, my sister is so useless that she can't protect you? Look, we are separated forever now, and I didn't even get to see you for the last time."
Xiao Fengyi didn't sleep all night last night. Today he looks completely different from yesterday and seems to have aged a few years.
"Wait for me, sister. When I hand over all of Southern Xinjiang to Rong'er, sister will have time. I will come to accompany you often, okay?"
Xiao Fengyi looked at the quiet place and liked it very much. "This place is quiet. When the time comes, my sister will build a small house here, and I will stay here with you. When I die, I will be buried here, and we can be together again. I will watch over you here to prevent that useless emperor from bullying you again."
Chu Chenfeng and Xiao Heng did not interrupt Xiao Fengyi while he was talking, they just watched quietly.
"By the way, you haven't met Heng'er yet, my son. Except for his poor health, everything else is fine. Heng'er, come and kowtow to your aunt."
Xiao Heng was very obedient. He knelt down in front of the tomb and kowtowed three times.
Xiao Fengyi smiled and said, "This kid is not in good health, you bless him for me, understand? My requirements are not high, just a normal lifespan.
"Mother······"
Xiao Heng looked at Chu Chenfeng helplessly and asked, "Why did you say that?"
Xiao Fengyi ignored him completely and continued, "But don't worry, I will protect your son. But I really envy you. You haven't seen your future daughter-in-law, right? Let Chenfeng bring her to you next time. She's a very good girl, and we are close friends regardless of age. You will definitely like her. I used to want this girl to be my daughter-in-law, but it's a pity that Heng'er doesn't have this blessing. Chenfeng?"
"Chen Feng is here."
"You haven't brought Xiaojiu here yet?"
Chu Chenfeng looked uncomfortable for a moment, "Yes, I was thinking of bringing her here after we get married."
Xiao Fengyi nodded, "Just make your own plans."
Almost half an hour had passed before Xiao Fengyi calmed down and said, "Chen Feng, your aunt will not attend your wedding. Your cousin is the only one in Southern Xinjiang, and I am worried. I will go back soon."
Xiao Heng frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "You still worry about me. What are you doing here? Is there anything you can't tell me? You are so old, can your body handle such a long journey?"
Xiao Heng only talks more in front of his mother. There is no other way. His mother has always been used to doing whatever she wants and often doesn't care about him. Xiao Heng is always worried about her.
Xiao Fengyi glared at him and said, "My health is much better than yours, you should take care of yourself." Then he looked at Chu Chenfeng and said, "I am worried about your cousin's wedding if I don't come to see him."
"What's there to worry about? You always said before that your cousin is much more powerful than you, the Queen of Southern Xinjiang. Why would you need..."
Xiao Heng wanted to say something more, but was glared at by Xiao Fengyi and immediately shut up.
"Chenfeng, Heng'er is not in good health. Please help your aunt take care of him."
"Yes, I will. Auntie, you have worked hard this time. I will remember it."
Xiao Fengyi waved his hand indifferently, "Family members don't care about these things. In the future, if there is a chance, I will take Xiaojiu back to Southern Xinjiang to have a look."
Xiao Fengyi said "yes", Chu Chenfeng's eyes flashed, "I know, aunt."
